Remember to add a 'real' name' and something (silly) in your bio section of your profile. Failure to do so could result in the deletion of your account on the grounds it is thought to be a spammer.
Why are writers now being validated? Blame the spammers for the aggravation. With the rapid growth of the website, spammers using fake email addresses have attempted to disrupt the archive. Unless a member has a real email address, their account is deleted a.s.a.p. Again, the administrator regrets the inconvenience for our newer writers.
Sadly, this also marks the first anniversary of JM McClure's death. Jeanne was a friend and mentor to many fandom writers, myself included.
Efforts are now underway to archive their remaining stories, including many never before published on the Internet. In this small memoriam, fans, both new and old, will enjoy their stories for years to come.
